February 24 is the date of the 2013 Oscars, which is why I have decided to take it on as my theme for today. Given all the amazing gowns that have walked the red carpet glory over the years, I have decided to dress in a outlandish, but definitely more iconic dress worn by Bjork in 2001,…

Day 241: Golden Girls
Today my oldest friend (Emilioooo!) is having her birthday party, deep down I know she wanted it to be Golden Girls themed, but thought no-one would commit to the idea. As a birthday gift, today I have taken on a Golden Girls theme, dressing as Sophia, my favourite character. Sophia, played by Estelle Getty, was…
Day 240: George Washington Day
February 22 is George Washington Day. George Washington Day is celebrated on, you guessed it, his birthday. So I’ve decided to dress up as the US quarter coin that features Mr Washington as today’s costume. I almost had his exact profile, I’m not sure if this is something I should be proud of or not…….
Day 239: Steve Jobs
Today I have taken on the user suggested theme of Steve Jobs from Zoe. I was actually quite surprised with how well this one turned out. Note to anyone out there trying to get this look, it all came into place as soon as I peaked and extended my eyebrows. Photo credit: Wayne Gretski…
Day 238: World Day of Social Justice
February 20 is World Day of Social Justice. Social justice is an underlying principle for peaceful and prosperous coexistence within and between nations. It is a day created by the United Nations General Assembly to raise awareness and promote the principles of gender equality and the rights of indigenous peoples and migrants. For this reason I have…
Day 237: Kick Ass

Day 236: John Travolta
February 18 is John Travolta’s birthday. I had a lot of choices when it came to which John Travolta costume I could re-create, in the end I went with the funniest I could think of, John Travolta cross-dressing. So today I have dressed up as Edna Turnblad from Hairspray. Please note that I tried to…
Day 235: Paris Hilton
February 17 is Paris Hilton’s birthday. Remember her? Remember ‘that’s hawt”? Good times, back in the early noughties. The awkward lean, duck lips combo is all because of her folks. I once said that I wanted to do for costumes what Paris Hilton did for sex tapes. Let’s hope if I do, there is a big…
Day 234: Edgar Bergen
February 16 is Edgar Bergen’s birthday. Edgar was an American actor and radio performer who was best known as a ventriloquist. In honour of his birthday today I have dressed up as a Ventriloquist dummy. The crux to pulling off this costume was all in the makeup. I’ve uploaded a lot of close ups of the…
Day 233: Virgin Airlines
On February 15 2011, Virgin Airlines was named as having the sexiest air hostesses. Out of a survey they won out with a whopping 53 per cent of the vote! So today with the help of my Smiffy’s air hostess costume, I am a Virgin Airlines flight attendant. Photo Credit: Wayne Gretski Red…
